The National Monuments Service's description
A possible circular or D-shaped enclosure was identified on aerial photograph (GSI June 1973 S.84/3/2) immediately SW of the church (TN023-030002-) which may have been part of a field system associated with the medieval church and castle (TN023-030001-) at Clonakenny. There are a number of old field banks immediately SW of the church but these do not form any particular pattern. Likely that a field lying so close to a medieval church, rectangular enclosure (TN023-030003-) and tower house and bawn (TN023-030001-) would have remnants of medieval settlement.
